LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--eAgeTutor.com
announced today the launch of its online tutoring offerings:
individualized, live tutoring for both struggling and exceptional
students. With three offerings—diagnostic-based eAge Excellence Programs
with customized learning plans, eAge Homework Help for course
assistance, and the eAge SAT Preparation Program, eAgeTutor.com offers a
suite of one-on-one online tutoring for students at half the cost of
traditional tutoring centers. As part of its launch, eAgeTutor.com is
providing one hour of free
tutoring for a limited time as well as a free diagnostic test,
itself a $250 value.

eAgeTutor assembled a team of highly qualified American school teachers
and university instructors, e-learning experts, and software developers
to design their standards-based tests and teaching materials. The result
is a high quality, highly effective learning program for students in
grades four through twelve.

Kevin Ward, a Louisiana school teacher who piloted the program, spoke
about the value of the service: “It identifies the fundamental skills
that are affecting student performance, and then provides targeted,
one-on-one instruction to address student needs.”

Chander Madan, CEO of eAgeTutor, explained the service. “After taking
their initial diagnostic tests, students schedule a session with their
tutor. They then meet in a fully secure, multimedia online classroom
where the instructor can share learning materials, watch animations, see
the student work out problems, and talk to each other.”

“With classrooms of 20 and 30 students, it can be really difficult for
students who don't get it the first time,” explains Erin Bowling, a
public school teacher in Kentucky. “They need one-on-one time that
teachers don't have.”

Research shows that online
tutoring is as or more effective than face-to-face tutoring, and
one-on-one environments have been shown to be highly effective in
promoting faster learning gains. And, as Madan points out, the tutoring
is more convenient as well.

“Students can schedule sessions at anytime and access them anywhere an
Internet connection is available, even on their iPhone, and all sessions
are fully recorded. They can be reviewed by students and parents. There
is no driving to learning centers or having strangers come into your
home. It is easier, safer, and greener.”
